About
I’m Christine D. Kim, a longtime journalist, researcher, and now, protocol specialist. Since 2018, I have carved out a niche area of expertise in technical upgrades, decentralized governance, and core protocol development.

“It’s rare to find anyone with [Christine’s] breadth and depth of understanding of crypto technology and equally with the flair to communicate it well. She has run educational workshops for the YAP Global PR team on the topic of MEV and staking, and our team walked away with not just a better understanding of the technology, but also equipped with the right terms and analogies to explain it.”
